The Israel Defense Forces says it is further bolstering troops in the so-called “seam zone” area along the West Bank security barrier.
Two more battalions — one infantry and one from the IDF’s Combat Engineering Corps — as well as two heavy equipment companies are being deployed.
The move comes amid attempts by Israel to better secure the border with the West Bank following two deadly terror attacks committed by Palestinians who entered Israel through gaps in the fence.
